Before everyone in the SEC got rich Auburn needed to play Bama in a bad way. It sold their season tickets.

If they were winning more or if Saban retired, they'd be fine playing The Tide every year.

JOX plays a recording of Pat Dye in his glory days saying something like....yes Bama is good, but we just gotta tighten up our chin strap and go knock their big arse off.
Pat Dye also made a remark about playing in the B'ham Iron Bowl as just throwing them a bone. (as in just throwing Alabama) a bone. He was pretty full of himself back then.

I don't know if he was trolling or serious but I take exception to him saying Bama is trying force something on them or dictate to them. He was fine doing the dictating when they wanted to move the IB to campus. Now he is fine not playing it if it means AU goes to the East forcing Bama to pick the TSIO or iB.....but somehow Bama is trying to dictate to them. He is an a-hole.

This has nothing to do with us playing Bama and everything to do with us wanting to play Florida (and Tennessee) again.
